Looks like a linux bug to me. The refrigerator fake signal waked the
task up and without restart for the sigwait case. How about below patch:

for 2.6.13 this should work. net-2.6.14 contains
ip_conntrack_netlink.c, which needs ip_conntrakc_put (and therefore the
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().
We also have other code out-of-tree (e.g. ct_sync) that need the symbo.
I know this is no rectification, but I'm merely mentioning it JFYI.

Hrm.. definitely works here. Is this with any other patches? Can you

[PATCH] POWER 4 fails to boot with NUMA
From: Mike Kravetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
If CONFIG_NUMA is set, some POWER 4 systems will fail to boot. This is
because of special processing needed to handle invalid node IDs (0x)
on POWER 4. My previous patch to handle memory 'holes' within nodes
forgot to add this special case for POWER 4 in one place.
In reality, I'm not sure that configuring the kernel for NUMA on POWER 4
makes much sense. Are there POWER 4 based systems with NUMA characteristics
that are presented by the firmware? But, distros want one kernel for all
systems so NUMA is on by default in their kernels. The patch handles those
cases.

Name: Module per-cpu alignment cannot always be met.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (authored)
The module code assumes noone will ever ask for a per-cpu area more
than SMP_CACHE_BYTES aligned. However, as these cases show, gcc asks
sometimes asks for 32-byte alignment for the per-cpu section on a
module, and if CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT is 4, we hit that BUG_ON().
This is obviously an unusual combination, as there have been few
reports, but better to warn than die.

Actually, that patch is just a fixup for a patch reject from the net-2.6.14
diff. I do that sometimes when I get sick of fixing up the same reject
each time I pull the various trees.
(I'm not sure _why_ I'm getting a reject applying that diff. Nothing else
touches that file. git is not quite yet generating the linus->davem diff

The machine I'm typing this on has a really shitty ACPI implementation, I don't remember the details because it's been so long but I know that I have to disable ACPI for it to work right.

We can't ensure stable PM until they are fixed.

But calling free_irq()/request_irq() still seems to make sense. It's the cleanest and most straightforward approach. It's the easiest way we can ensure there will not be race conditions. An interrupt could be triggered during the device's power transition when it's in between on and off.

We either need to change every driver to free irqs or "harden" each of them. Freeing irqs obviously seems easier. I propose we make this change in -mm in one pass to avoid bugs like this. Also, as I said earlier, the better we support OSPM initiated power management, the more likely APM will break. This may be technically unavoidable on some isolated boxes without quirks. I agree with Pavel that "do nothing" may make sense, but it seems some devices may still need to be disabled by the OS. As a real world example, we currently can't turn off cardbus bridges because it breaks APM on a couple of older laptops.

SCSI tape problems: 2.6.12, DLT 7000, Adaptec AIC7xxx controller
Hi All, I've just a Dell Precision 610 dual CPU Xeon workstation, with 550mhz CPUs and 768mb of RAM. I'm running 2.6.12 right now, and using two different SCSI busses on the system to run some disks and a DLT 7000 tape drive on it's own bus. I'm using Bacula (www.bacula.org) as my backup software. The aic7xxx and st, sd drivers are all compiled into the kernel. I'll be trying 2.6.13-rc4 as well, but I don't know what will happen here. I don't know if this is a problem with the AIC7xxx driver, the tape in the drive, or the DLT7000 drive itself. I've gotten the following oops/crash, which kills the tape drive completely. I can't get it back without a power cycle of the tape drive. Doing 'scsiadd' or 'sg_scan' sometimes works, but not often. I've had some sucess with doing a 'scsiadd -r' first to remove the DLT entry, then doing a 'scsiadd -a' to bring it back online, but only if I power cycle the tape drive. Here's the oops/crash info: scsi1:0:6:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message CDB: 0xa 0x0 0x0 0xfc 0x0 0x0 scsi1: At time of recovery, card was not paused >> Dump Card State Begins < scsi1: Dumping Card State in Command phase, at SEQADDR 0x156 Card was paused ACCUM = 0x80, SINDEX = 0xac, DINDEX = 0xc0, ARG_2 = 0x0 HCNT = 0x0 SCBPTR = 0x0 SCSISIGI[0x84]:(BSYI|CDI) ERROR[0x0] SCSIBUSL[0xc0] LASTPHASE[0x80]:(CDI) SCSISEQ[0x12]:(ENAUTOATNP|ENRSELI) SBLKCTL[0x2]:(SELWIDE) SCSIRATE[0x88]:(WIDEXFER) SEQCTL[0x10]:(FASTMODE) SEQ_FLAGS[0x0] SSTAT0[0x7]:(DMADONE|SPIORDY|SDONE) SSTAT1[0x2]:(PHASECHG) SSTAT2[0x0] SSTAT3[0x0] SIMODE0[0x0] SIMODE1[0xac]:(ENSCSIPERR|ENBUSFREE|ENSCSIRST|ENSELTIMO) SXFRCTL0[0x88]:(SPIOEN|DFON) DFCNTRL[0x4]:(DIRECTION) DFSTATUS[0x6d]:(FIFOEMP|DFTHRESH|HDONE|FIFOQWDEMP|DFCACHETH) STACK: 0x37 0x0 0x150 0x191 SCB count = 4 Kernel NEXTQSCB = 3 Card NEXTQSCB = 3 QINFIFO entries: Waiting Queue entries: Disconnected Queue entries: QOUTFIFO entries: Sequencer Free SCB List: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Sequencer SCB Info: 0 SCB_CONTROL[0x40]:(DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x67] SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x2] 1 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 2 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 3 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 4 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 5 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 6 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 7 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 8 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 9 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 10 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 11 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 12 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 13 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 14 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] 15 SCB_CONTROL[0x0] SCB_SCSIID[0xff]:(TWIN_CHNLB|OID|TWIN_TID) SCB_LUN[0xff]:(SCB_XFERLEN_ODD|LID) SCB_TAG[0xff] Pending list: 2 SCB_CONTROL[0x40]:(DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x67] SCB_LUN[0x0] Kernel Free SCB list: 1 0 Untagged Q(6): 2 < Dump Card State Ends >> scsi1:0:6:0: Device is active, asserting ATN Recovery code sleeping Recovery code awake Timer Expired aic7xxx_abort returns 0x2003 scsi1:0:6:0: Attempting to queue a TARGET RESET message CDB: 0xa 0x0 0x0 0xfc 0x0 0x0 aic7xxx_dev_reset returns 0x2003 Recovery SCB completes scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery: host 1 channel 0 id 6 lun 0 st0: Error 1 (sugg. bt 0x0, driver bt 0x0, host bt 0x1). -- Here's the cat /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/1 info: jfsnew:~> cat /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/1 Adaptec AIC7xxx driver version: 6.2.36 Adaptec aic7880 Ultra SCSI adapter aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs Allocated SCBs: 4, SG List Length: 128 Serial EEPROM: 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x0378 0x10a4 0x1c1e 0x2807 0x0010 0x 0x 0x 0x 0x 0x 0x 0x 0x 0x

The problem is we are going to use ACPI interpreter with interrupt disabled. The interpreter itself might use kmalloc, semaphore, iomap, msleep and etc, depends on BIOS. Fixing interpreter is hard. Originally we think to introduce a new system state for suspend/resume to avoid warning, but later we found drivers calling pci_disable_irq/free_irq is better and safer not just for the issue at hand. We might reconsider previous option (a new system state) if free_irq is rejected.

Well it's harder to read (because it makes control constructs look more
like function calls). And a bit uglier.
But anyway, coding styles are rarely about "worse" versus "better",
they're about keeping things consistent so that it's easier to read
code.

Sure. The problem as I see it is that there are two copies, and one
of them isn't in the USB part of the tree. So just move it, and cope
with the consequences during the 2.6.14 cycle:
(a) Move the USB quirks out of the generic PCI drivers directory
into the USB HCD directory (see the attached patch);
(b) foreach HCD in (ehci ohci uhci) do:
(1) Merge the two different routines: HCD internal init/reset
and the PCI quirk code are identical in intent, but they
each address different sets of quirks.
(2) Then the HCD reset() and PCI quirk() code will call those
single shared routine.
At OLS, Vojtech mentioned wanting to make "usb-handoff" be the default.
That's seem plausible (USB has more than its fair share of BIOS issues!)
but should only kick in sometime after we merge the two different sets
of quirk handling logic.
- Dave
This moves the PCI quirk handling for USB host controllers from the
PCI directory to the USB directory.
Follow-on patches will need to remove code duplication, and probably
make "usb-handoff" be the system default.
Compile-tested only so far.

Re: [PATCH] speed up on find_first_bit for i386 (let compiler do the work)

Wait a minute... suppose that size == 32 and the bitmap is one word of all
zeros. Dynamic execution will overflow the buffer:
int x = 0;
unsigned long v = *b++; /* Zero */
if (v) /* False, v == 0 */
if (x >= size) /* False, 0 < 32 */
x += 32;
} while (1);
unsigned long v = *b++; /* Buffer overflow */
if (v) /* Random value, suppose non-zero */
return __ffs(v) + x;/* >= 32 */
That should be:
static inline int new_find_first_bit(const unsigned long *b, unsigned size)
int x = 0;
do {
unsigned long v = *b++;
if (v)
return __ffs(v) + x;
} while ((x += 32) < size);
return size;
}
Note that we assume that the trailing long is padded with zeros.
In truth, it should probably be either
static inline unsigned new_find_first_bit(u32 const *b, unsigned size)
int x = 0;
do {
u32 v = *b++;
if (v)
return __ffs(v) + x;
} while ((x += 32) < size);
return size;
}
or
static inline unsigned
new_find_first_bit(unsigned long const *b, unsigned size)
unsigned x = 0;
do {
unsigned long v = *b++;
if (v)
return __ffs(v) + x;
} while ((x += CHAR_BIT * sizeof *b) < size);
return size;
}
Do we actually store bitmaps on 64-bit machines with 32 significant bits
per ulong?

Calling free_irq actually isn't a complete ACPI issue, but ACPI requires it to solve nasty 'sleep in atomic' warning. You will find such break with swsusp without ACPI. Could we revert the ACPI change in Linus's tree but keep it in -mm tree? So we get a chance to fix drivers.

IBM HDAPS, I need a tip.
Hi Guys, I hope you all aren't sick about the topic. I have a quick question... Thanks to development of the driver from some nice guys, we are able to get data from the accelerometer. There is one problem. How do we calibrate the values that are outputed from the userspace? All PC's get a different value, and we can't really find the best solution. What is the scientific and smartest way to do this? i.e. of the driver output from the userspace.

Another question for this kernel inclusion (heh) Should we use Sysfs or should we use the userspace that outputs this data, else what is recomended?

GOT IT WORKING - Problem with SMP and NCCH-DL motherboard
Hi, In case anyone has the same problem I got it solved. I basically disabled everything that was on the motherboard such as the promise sata, sound, usb, etc. It then seemed to work except it choked on loading the AACRAID driver so I set the pci=usepirqmask and it then got it. I then tried reenabling USB and it gave the same problem again so I disabled the USB legacy support and left USB 2.0 on and tried again, this time it worked. Now why would USB legacy support prevent linux from detecting the other cpus and make it reboot? Not that I'm too worried about it but it might be something a kernel hacker might want to look at...

In _practice_, I hope that (a) we don't see that very much (ie the people for whom things work already are a strong argument that this is less of a problem in practice than people try to make it appear) (b) drivers, _especially_ on notebooks, are already able to handle an incoming interrupt with the device in D3 state and returning 0xff for all reads. In particular, this is exactly the same thing that you get on a surprise device removal too. iow it really _really_ shouldn't matter that a shared interrupt comes in after (or before) a device has gone to sleep.

See (b) above. As far as I can tell, the "interrupt when in D3" really looks _exactly_ the same as "interrupt when device was just removed by the user", and nobody will hopefully argue that free_irq/request_irq can protect against forced removal? > This has nothing to do with the issues with highlevel PM interfaces > for shutting down hardware, this is do with fixing the drivers in the > kernel currently and what the correct way to do it is without breaking > someone elses hardware ... and I don't think this has _anything_ to do with free_irq/request_irq, and everything to do with the fact that we can try to make at least the common drivers "hardened" for unexpected interrupts coming in when the hw might not be ready for them.

[PATCH] sonypi, kernel 2.6.12.3
Newer Sony VAIO models (VGN-S480, VGN-S460, VGN-S3XP etc) use a new method to
initialize the SPIC device. The new way to initialize (and disable) the device
comes directly from the AML code in the _CRS, _SRS and _DIS methods from the
DSDT table. This patch against 2.6.12.3 adds support for the new models.

all the warnings up to the error occur on a vanilla kernel compilation,
but installs anyway ... i know "SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED" has something to do
with ingo's patch, so i emailed the spca5xx author to see if he knew
what to do:
Shayne,
Try to change 'SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED' by some thing to initialize the spin :)
regards
i'm guessing it's these lines in spca5xx.c that i have to change:
*
if (!spca50x_configure (spca50x))
{
spca50x->user = 0;
init_MUTEX (&spca50x->lock); /* to 1 == available */
init_MUTEX (&spca50x->buf_lock);
spca50x->v4l_lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;
spca50x->buf_state = BUF_NOT_ALLOCATED;
}
else
{
err ("Failed to configure camera");
goto error;
}
i've looked through the archives for some clue as to what to change it
to, but being a bit on the newbie side, haven't had any luck ...
please CC me on any replies!
thanx
shayne

This has nothing to do with the issues with highlevel PM interfaces for shutting down hardware, this is do with fixing the drivers in the kernel currently and what the correct way to do it is without breaking someone elses hardware Dave. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

So eth0 now randomly changes between on board and PCMCIA depending upon whether the PCMCIA card was inserted or not, and your disks re-order themselves in the same situation. That'll be funny if anyone does a mkswap to share their swap between Linux and Windows. Gosh look there goes the root partition. I'm hoping thats not what you are implying.

No luck. I installed 0.64 and I get the same hang on mounting

Face the facts: we have to do things incrementally. Any design that breaks unmodified drivers is by _definition_ broken. You can't fix all drivers, and anybody who starts their arguments with "we should just fix drivers" is living in la-la-land. Anyway. My original PM suggestion handled that case perfectly well. The rule was to make "go to sleep" be a two-phase operation: - phase 1: save state, and possibly return errors - phase 2: turn off where the second stage was done with interrupts disabled and atomically. And the first phase was done without actually changing the state of the device at all (so that if some device said "I can't do that, Dave", there is no need to go back and wake anything up at all), and we could allocate memory freely, because the disk was still working etc etc. For some totally inexplicable reason, the PM people never liked this, and ended up doing a single "power off" setup. Which was always known to be broken, and caused tons of problems, like the fact that save-to-disk had to wake up a device that had already been shut off etc. So the fact that the PM layer was "simplified" to a single-phase setup causes a lot of problems, but hey, stupid is as stupid does. I've given up worrying about what crazy things the PM list comes up with, and instead I now have a hard rule: a patch that breaks some machine gets reverted. Is that too hard to understand? I'll repeat it again: A patch that breaks some machine gets reverted. and maybe somebody on the PM list will one day understand what it means to have slow and steady progress instead of dicking around with the idea of the week.

Re: Fw: sigwait() breaks when straced
The problem is not really "when straced", but when strace attaches. In fact, it's not even "when PTRACE_ATTACH'd". It's actually the implicit SIGSTOP that PTRACE_ATTACH causes. If you simply suspend and resume the program (with SIGSTOP or C-z), you get the same result. So this report is more properly identified as "signal stop breaks sigwait". However, there is in fact no bug here. The test program is just wrong. sigwait returns zero or an error number, as POSIX specifies. Conversely, sigtimedwait and sigwaitinfo either return 0 or set errno and return -1. It is odd that the interfaces of related functions differ in this way, but they do.

Works just fine except for nasty spontaneous reboots from time to time caused by yenta_socket (I do get these since I started to access my pcmcia flash disk from initrd to retrieve the dm-crypt swap key). It does work since at least 2.6.11 up to 2.6.13-rc4 and if the yenta_socket caused spontaneous reboots after resume could be fixed I'd call it production ready. gringo:~ # fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda11 244 1959898+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 245 488 1959930 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda3 489 732 1959930 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda4 733 972972268402+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 733 976 1959898+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda6 977 972970308441 88 Linux plaintext (*) (*) dm-crypt :-) gringo:~ # vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name rootvg System ID Formatlvm2 Metadata Areas1 Metadata Sequence No 27 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV0 Cur LV8 Open LV 8 Max PV0 Cur PV1 Act PV1 VG Size 67.05 GB PE Size 4.00 MB Total PE 17165 Alloc PE / Size 14464 / 56.50 GB Free PE / Size 2701 / 10.55 GB VG UUID oHluq0-H5Nd-90dU-psLn-ygNT-u4GJ-D8aJhG All filesystems are ext3 as I did have nasty experiences with reiserfs on lvm+raid on another 2.6 system without ever using swsusp there. -- Andreas Steinmetz SPAMmers use [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

I meant the "ACPI restores irq controller state" thing. Just leave it in. There's never any downside. If all the drivers end up doing free_irq/request_irq(), restoring the irq controller state still won't have any negative effect, and it solves the case where you have drivers that don't do it. > > Just make ACPI restore the dang thing. It's the right thing to do. > > Requires interpretter running with interrupts disabled => ugly :-(. I don't see that. What's ugly? I agree that ACPI is ugly, but I do _not_ agree that it's ugly to restore irq controller state with interrupts disabled. It MakesSense(tm) to do so. The fact that ACPI was designed by a group of monkeys high on LSD, and is some of the worst designs in the industry obviously makes running it at _any_ point pretty damn ugly. And the fact that MB vendors don't test it with anything else than Windows (and sometimes you wonder whether they do even that) doesn't help. So hell yes, it's ugly, and nasty. But interrupts disabled has nothing to do with any of it. Besides, there's no real reason why you'd even have to do it with interrupts disabled. I personally think that it makes _sense_ to try to restore the irq controller state with irq's off, but as I made clear earlier in this flame-fest, there's no real reason why you couldn't just run with interrupts on. If an interrupt is screaming due to lack of initialization and gets turned off, just make sure it gets re-enabled when it is being initialized.

Just an idea :-). This was the idea with the drivers/soc suggestion although I think that name is perhaps misleading. How about drivers/mfd where mfd = Multi Functional Devices? I think it would be acceptable (and in keeping with the other drivers e.g. pcmcia) to seeing the arch and platform specific modules with the main driver as long as the naming reflected it (like the existing mcp and ucb code does) i.e.: mcp-core.c mcp-sa1100.c ucb1x00-code.c ucb1x00-assabet.c ucb1x00-collie.c If code can be separated out into subsystems, I'm not so sure where they should go though.

The outcome: I'm no more enthusiastic about enabling this in Red Hat kernels than I ever was before. It seems to have real issues with LVM setups (which is default on Red Hat/Fedora installs these days). After convincing it where to suspend/resume from by feeding it the major/minor of my swap partition, it did actually seem to suspend. And resume (though it did spew lots of 'sleeping whilst atomic warnings, but thats trivial compared to whats coming up next). I rebooted, and fsck found all sorts of damage on my / partition. After spending 30 minutes pressing 'y', to fix things up, it failed to boot after lots of files were missing. Why it wrote anything to completely different lv to where I told it (and yes, I did get the major:minor right) I have no idea, but as it stands, it definitly isn't production-ready. I'll look into it again sometime soon, but not until after I've reinstalled my laptop. (I'm just thankful I had the sense not to try this whilst I was at OLS).

The advantages are: - reducing the number of supported gcc versions from 8 to 4 [1] allows the removal of several #ifdef's and workarounds - my impression is that the older compilers are only rarely used, so miscompilations of a driver with an old gcc might not be detected for a longer amount of time My personal opinion about the time and space a compilation requires is that this is no longer that much of a problem for modern hardware, and in the worst case you can compile the kernels for older machines on more recent machines. This patch does not yet remove all the #ifdef's and other things that are now no longer required, it only let's the compilation #error for older gcc versions and updates the documentation. I'd like to see this patch in the next -mm, and if noone will tell a strong reason for keeping support for these gcc versions I'll send the cleanups that are now.

Pavel Machek wrote: Then the second test was probably flawed, possibly because we have some more work to do. No display is irrelevant, HZ=100 will still save 0.5W with running display. Spinning disk also does not produce CPU load (and we *will* want to have disk spinned down). No daemons... if some daemon wakes every msec, we want to fix the daemon. I was talking about percentage saved; That 5.2% easily drops below 2% once other things start sucking up power. I was thinking that way since the percentage saved is what determines the overall battery life increase. You're right in that the absolute power draw difference should stay the same, and that seems to be the case is Marc's tests (ignoring the brokenness of artsd). Kernel defaults are irelevant; distros change them anyway. [But we probably want to enable ACPI and cpufreq by default, because that matches what 99% of users will use.] True, but I think a lot of distros treat the values as recommendations. I guess we'll find out what they do with this option soon enough. I have a fixed-framerate app that had to busywait in the days of 2.4.x. It was nice in 2.6.x to not have to busywait, but with 250HZ that code will be coming back again. And unfortunately this app can't be made variable-framerate, as it is simulating video hardware. The same goes for apps playing movies/animations; Sometimes programs just need a semi-accurate sleep, and can't demand root priveledges to get it. I really don't think default HZ in kernel config is such a big deal. You'll want to support HZ=100 on 2.6.X, anyway... Yeah, but if its only the default value for servers and laptops they won't normally be running my app. I'll be truly happy the day I can delete all the busy-waiting code, as I think its about the ugliest workaround in modern computing. defconfig on i386 is Linus' configuration. Maybe server-config and laptop-config would be good idea... Well maybe if we can get enough people who agree then it could happen. I think a "laptop-config" and "server-config" file could fit nicely into the current arch/*/config/ directory structure. I'm not sure how those defconfig files are kept up to date though. - Jim - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

As this isn't the only chip of this sort (i.e. a multi-function chip not on the CPU bus) maybe we should store the bus driver in a common place. If needed we could have a very simple bus driver subsystem (this might already be in the kernel, I haven't looked at the bus stuff) in which you register a bus driver and client drivers register with the bus driver.

You're saying 99% of Linux > installations are laptops? Bullshit. I believe he's talking about the future (he did said "will"). All the new AMD64 desktop chips have powersaving now, and Intel chips either have it now or will soon. With the power that desktop chips draw nowadays (some are 80+ watts at idle), it is an important consideration. As for uptake, a realistic number would be probably be 90% in three years. Of course regardless of that I'd still like to keep the 1msec sleep resolution... - Jim - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

OK, so HZ should be left at 1000 so "make oldconfig" continues to do the right thing. It is supposed to give me my old config, right?

That's why the sonypi driver is not a PCI driver but relies on a DMI ident to detect each and every Vaio laptop out there.
